Home technology top of online sales searches

With reports out revealing that 15p in every £1 of retail spending in the UK is spent online, with electrical goods seeing a 60 per cent increase in online sales in December compared to Christmas 2006, Savebuckets.com reveals that this trend is set to continue for electronic retailers.

Electronic goods remain number one for online searchers on Savebuckets.com. However Nintendos and Playstations are dropping off the list of the most sought after online purchases as televisions, laptops and cookers take over in the New Year.

Marc Ames, Marketing Manager of Savebuckets.com, commented: “These variations in online shopping between December and January show the versatility of the internet – you can buy virtually anything online these days from suits of armour to kitchen appliances. Price saving sites such as Savebuckets.com are driving down prices, giving consumers a better deal for their money as well as making shopping quicker and easier than on the high street.”
